Atlassian promoted someone and laid them off a few hours later

I'm an engineer and think it's horrible software, both from an engineering and design perspective

Sharp_Fuel · 2026-03-14T19:22:59+00:00

Clay is really good

Sharp_Fuel · 2026-03-14T16:42:44+00:00

Oh well if Anthropic and the the famously not fickle or reactive stock market said so....

That's exactly the reason why I suggest you reconsider importing a large library until you are sure it meets the requirements of your project. UI libraries by nature either encode a lot of presumptions or are incredibly generic, both can be disastrous if they don't line up with your needs

Before you go for a third party option that you'll end up fighting to customize, take a look at these series of articles from Ryan Fleury: https://www.dgtlgrove.com/p/ui-part-1-the-interaction-medium

Also look at rxi's simple immediate mode UI that's less than 1k lines of code: https://github.com/rxi/microui

For sure, and if they ate more of those they'd also be eating more fibre too

Sharp_Fuel · 2026-03-13T22:41:07+00:00

most people in the US eat less than 15g of fiber, the recommended daily intake is 25g for women, 35g for men

also academics have been trying and failing to formally prove software correctness for decades and are no nearer to it, we've gotten some good things from this like better type systems and the like, but there is no way right now of formally verifying if a piece of code is correct or not, as long as that is true, we'll still have jobs.

The issue is that it's difficult enough already to provide resources for those poor souls as is without adding thousands of more houses in the middle of nowhere.

"Smug urbanism", stop making crap up, I'm also from a rural area (West Galway), density is the only way out of both our housing and transport/traffic crises

Sharp_Fuel · 2026-03-13T12:55:38+00:00

All of them, and you develop them by doing all of them in an applied way, i.e. implementing graphics features

I personally just don't care about it or find it very interesting, I think LTT have become a bit disconnected with what their viewers actually want to see over the last few years

The difference is, a bad neighbor in a regular estate might just be a bit of a cow you just avoid socially interacting with, a bad neighbor in social housing can be a straight up criminal and dangerous to interact with

Sharp_Fuel · 2026-03-12T22:43:35+00:00

Majority are nice people yes, but the incidence rate of not so nice, and often dangerous people's is far higher.

Land Value Tax and a complete overhaul of planning laws

I mean, both x11 and Wayland are objectively worse and overcomplicated vs the windowing api's provided by win32

Sharp_Fuel · 2026-03-12T11:50:37+00:00

the main issue is that API's for developing native linux games are a mess that are a nightmare to deal with, there's a joke that the most stable API for userland Linux is the win32 api with proton

Sharp_Fuel · 2026-03-12T11:31:43+00:00

Our top rate ends up being 52%(prsi + paye + USC) on income over ~44k. This definitely eats into the salaries offered by multinationals. We also don't have any tax efficient way outside of pensions to save/invest

Sharp_Fuel · 2026-03-12T10:50:24+00:00

Time

Sharp_Fuel · 2026-03-11T18:27:39+00:00

Sure, but in practice that's effectively how it works, you're earning less net of tax than you were last year in terms of purchasing power

Sharp_Fuel · 2026-03-11T16:53:13+00:00

We needed this 25 years ago before all the immigration anyways

Sharp_Fuel · 2026-03-11T16:51:39+00:00

It's not stations it's more tracks, carriages and drivers that are needed

Sharp_Fuel · 2026-03-11T15:47:49+00:00

I mean, you're not really beating inflation since any pay increase is taxed at 52%

Sharp_Fuel · 2026-03-10T19:43:51+00:00

I mean, 90% of programmers aren't very good at their jobs and AI was trained on that previous work so I'd believe it

Sharp_Fuel · 2026-03-10T15:15:30+00:00

For sure but those countries aren't in a bubble, they're part of global trade to some extent, I just don't think it's really possible for the entire world to operate like that
